Austin Barnes hit his first home run of the season as the Dodgers' winning streak grew to 11 with a 1-0 victory over Milwaukee on Thursday for a sweep of the Brewers.
All 12 major sports teams in Los Angeles — including the Dodgers, Lakers, Rams and Kings — have teamed up to donate $450,000 to Maui fire relief efforts.“It’s just nice when you have a veteran backstop who can spell Will [Smith] and you can trust him,” manager Dave Roberts said. “He had a heck of a ball game. It was really fun to see.”Brewers ace Corbin Burnes held the Dodgers scoreless through seven innings, striking out nine while giving up only two hits and two walks.
Lynn didn’t get much swing-and-miss, collecting just three strikeouts and seven whiffs. But he again worked efficiently by generating early-count outs, completing seven innings for his second time in four starts since coming to Los Angeles. Lynn’s only real jam Thursday came in the sixth, when the Brewers had runners on the corners with no outs.
William Contreras had the first crack at opening the scoring, but bounced a comebacker to Lynn on the mound. Initially, Lynn was planning to throw to second for a potential double play. But when he saw baserunner Tyrone Taylor bolt toward home from third, Lynn turned back toward the plate, lobbed the ball to Barnes, then watched his catcher tag Taylor in a run-down, paving the way for a crucial escape.And a couple of innings later, it set the stage for Barnes’ heroics at the plate.
